Turn signal bulbs

[cj10jeeper]

Does anyone have a standard part number for front turn signal/indicator bulbs?

They look like a 21w watt ofsett pin bayonett, but my catalogue does not clearly identify them. The handbook suggests entrusting this task to an approved dealer

Ideally I need to obtain some in silver/stealth or perhaps amber

Thanks

I saw that but of course it just references BMW standard parts not aftermarket replacement. I think it's a 12v 21w not 5 w. UK indicators are usually 21w. It's part 9 in the diagram you reference, so maybe a H21W.

Ah right, what's 5w then, the sidelight? I saw that, I thought the lowest wattage must be the indicator. No wonder the sidelights are useless if they're 5w :lol:

Mike,
Yes - sidelight is 5w (which is why I had to fit 4w to 7w resistors to fool the LCM into believing I did not have a bulb out when I went to LED sidelights as they are just 1w) Tail lights are also 5w with turn and brake at 21w.

Still I'm no closer to identifying a non OEM bulb reference for the 21w offset pin turn signal bulb.

Any ideas guys??

I can promise you you won't find that bulb in any store east of the Mississippi River and I know I tried.

I could find the regular (I think it was 2170) but NOBODY had/has the silver.
I finally put the regular amber bulb in there with the intention of having the dealer change it but I forgot about it until now.

2 zero - I suspect you are right.

I think I can extend that to any strore as far East as the UK.

Even finding a non OEM number is a challenge but in UK a BAY9s looks like it, a 9mm bayonett with offset pin. But in silver or amber - I don't think it's done.

If anyone wants to show me I'm wrong I'll be delighted......
